Jeez,
Long time since I've been around here, certainly for posting, but still read the boards and made a few orders a couple of years ago for replacements pack parts. Can't believe it is 11 years since I built that thing!
Anyway, with the release of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 I thought I would take a tour around the city of New York to see if the locations are replicated as real life counterparts in the game. The game uses imagery from Google Maps to recreate landscapes around the world.
So in an ICON A5 (stunning small plane) I flew from LaGuardia Airport in queens over Manhatten to the following locations:
Hook and Ladder 8 (firehouse)
55 Central Park West (Shandor Building)
Tavern on the Green
Columbus Circle
New York Public Library
Although, low resolution generated 3d buildings, the results were amazingly good. One of the locations amazingly so! So if you are interested in taking a look then feel free to pop over to the video at:
For anyone intersted in specs and stuff my PC is as follows:
CF791 3440 x 1440 monitor (hence the widescreen aspect ratio)
Intel 10850K
NVIDIA 1080ti (soon to be upgraded to 3080)
32mb DDR 4 2400 RAM
Sabrent Rocket Q 1TB NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 Internal SSD
I was playing Flight Sim on Ultra settings at 3440 x 1440. Not sure of the frame rate but it was smooth so it was easily over 30 fps.
Any other questions feel free to get in touch and take care!
